TI8 - Discussion Thread

If OG manages to beat LGD I’ll be surprised. Rooting for LGD assuming NA teams get knocked out cuz maybe is a boss. I don’t see Optic or EG getting past VP or VGJ getting past liquid but I guess we can hope.

not to mention their players are some of the worst examples of manchildren in the history of competitive video games

vp is tilting and bad atm

so is eg i think

also can’t believe how much chatwheel shit is happening in this tournament you’d think it would be disabled

Eg isn’t tilting they had a good game plan but then said hey let’s go late against spec with a centaur aghs instead of killing shrines then forcing high ground

Still baffled that dire shrines were up after they took a t3 super early

And the bounty focus was off again

Maybe they are titling

See my earlier comment

The thing is unprofessional and obnoxious but valve created it and want to sell it to dota fans so there it is

Just like how cosmetics slowly drive down the visual clarity and performance of every valve game but it’s never really addressed because that’s how valve makes money

is all chatting allowed during TI?

it’s not that I even mind the chatwheels, but it just feels like the casters have been told to pay lipservice both to them and the tipping

I want to hear about the game not “x player tipped y, how spicy” and “wow they sure are feeling it, look at those lakaad matataangs”.

DotA is such a complex game you should never run out of things to talk about. It’s not needed.

But reddit loves it so expect this shit to only ramp up in the future.

if allchatting is allowed then I’m all for getting rid of chatwheel

but if theres some sort of clause in the rules saying youre not allowed to allchat anything but gg then I’m all for chatwheel. Trash talk and mind games should always be allowed in competition. Mental games has always been a viable strategy in every sport why should dota be the exception.

Hell, I remember they censored players in SC2 and I remember people (players and spectators) hating it. Its unfun.

7ckingmad placing high as a core in ti might be what finally makes me quit this game.

This but I quit when I noticed he sucked ass and was toxic and somehow people still managed to be around him

its cause he whines to reddit about stuff reddit cares about
